Dosages (Red Maple) — Sweet sap okay as food farmacy! Saponins apparently, are not healthy.
Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Red Maple) — “Hazards and/or side effects not
known for proper therapeutic dosages” (PH2) (but PH2 designates no specific quantified dosage! JAD).
Horse and zebras grazing the leaves may develop hemolytic anemia. Product should not be used
otherwise, except for eye conditions (PH2).RED MULBERRY (Morus rubra L.) +++I suspect that most birds and few foresters, herbalists, and taxonomists know which species—red,
white, or black, rubra, alba, or nigra—they last ingested for edible or medicinal reasons. Further,
I doubt that most chemical and overseas clinical trials have been vouchered. Still, I keep them
separate, knowing that I have white and black fruits volunteering, almost weeds on my property.
I would, myself, use them generically for food and medicine, though as a botanist, I cannot prescribe
such. See other species for other indications. I’ll bet that in 10 years someone bolder than I will
treat them all generically as mulberry, Morus spp. Some FAD, and all PNC and PHR entries below,
probably apply more to M. alba.
